A dog sled expedition with the Inuit through the frozen fjords of Tunu, East Greenland. With some of the last Indigenous people that still use the dog sled as their main means of winter transport, we will travel deep into a wildly remote area of the frozen Fjordlands of the East Coast. From our heated camp each night, surrounded by white peaks, ethereal displays of the Northern Lights often flicker across the sky. Dog sledding is a hands-on experience; whether assisting with the sled on steep slopes, harnessing the dogs or feeding them at the end of the day, each team member will have an important part to play.
With only the breathing of the dogs and the hiss of the sled running over the snow, there can be no more timeless way of exploring the stunning fjords, glaciers and mountains of Arctic Greenland.
